At the SHOT Show 2024, 5.11 Tactical introduced a robust range of new products planned to roll out throughout the year. This expansion will encompass various categories including men’s and women’s apparel, backpacks, hydration bottles, belts, and more.
The CloudStryke Pack Collection is one of the highlighted innovations, with two backpacks designed to offer lightweight and form-fitting practicality for outdoor enthusiasts and fitness aficionados. The CloudStryke Pack 10L and the CloudStryke Pack 18L are both constructed with 100D honeycomb nylon that has a PU/DWR coating, enhancing durability with a 1.5k waterproof rating. 5.11 Tactical designed these packs with an emphasis on counterbalance, which allows stable and agile movement. They also feature adjustable torso and waist systems, low profile vest shoulder straps, ventilated back panels, hydration compatibility, multiple chest pockets for gear accessibility, laser-cut MOLLE for additional accessories, and a trekking pole carrying solution. Each pack offers different carrying capacities, with the 10L version having a drawstring opening and the 18L providing a zippered main compartment, side compression straps, and dual water bottle pockets.
Enhancing their COVRT™ Collection, new additions include the COVRT™ Select Carry Pack, COVRT™ 24 Backpack, and COVRT™ Select Carry Pistol Pouch. The Select Carry Pack allows for rapid deployment with MOLLE platform and weapon retention straps. Meanwhile, the COVRT™ 24 Backpack integrates tactical functionality with a low-profile design, boasting a 41L capacity and a hidden CCW compartment. For a discreet carry, the COVRT™ Select Carry Pistol Pouch offers robust material and organization for concealed weapons.
For those needing to carry comprehensive gear, the RUSH® Sierra One Pack extends 5.11’s best-selling series. This high-capacity, duty-ready backpack comes with ample space to accommodate a rifle, tripod, helmet, and more. It is constructed with durable 500D nylon and a 1050D nylon base, ensuring it withstands harsh conditions. An adjustable interior divider, custom removable aluminum frame, load-bearing hip belt, and load lifters provide comfort when carrying heavy loads. A plethora of storage options including MOLLE, zippered pockets, and a stowable mesh helmet holder, make the pack a versatile choice for any mission.
In the realm of accessories, 5.11 has revamped their existing product lines such as belts and water bottles. The AYCE Belt, offered in both solid-color interiors and graphic-rich exteriors, provides a one-size-fits-most option with reversible elastic webbing and micro-adjustability. The belt delivers comfort and a tailored fit for any activity.
Adding to its product offerings, 5.11 Tactical introduces their line of Hydration Bottles, available in 24oz and 32oz sizes. Designed to fit standard cup holders and top-shelf dishwasher safe for added convenience, these bottles feature 5.11’s unique graphics and come with a personal naming bar, ensuring users can easily identify their bottle. The bottles are constructed with BPA, BPS, and phthalate-free Tritan® material.
